ICE Prison Guards Mimic Nazis in Auschwitz-Like Florida Concentration Camps

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is a Nazi. He is proud of his concentration camp built in the middle of the Florida Everglades. He gave it what he thought was a clever name, “Alligator Alcatraz.” This is what people who hate America are willing to do to innocent men, women, and children who are guilty of nothing more than seeking a better life, not unlike the early settlers who arrived from Western Europe in the 1500’s and 1600’s.

[The 92-page report, “‘You Feel Like Your Life is Over’: Abusive Practices at Three Florida Immigration Detention Centers Since January 2025,” was released this week by Americans for Immigrant Justice, Human Rights Watch and Sanctuary of the South. It alleges widespread mistreatment of migrants detained at the Krome North Service Processing Center, Broward Transitional Center and the Federal Detention Center in Miami.]

There is no denying the fact that Trump’s personal gestapo, hiding their faces behind masks and calling themselves “ICE,” are nothing more than descendants of prison guards torturing Jews in Auschwitz and other German concentration camps in the 1930’s and 1940’s and in other occupied nations.

DeSantis is proud to have three concentration camps in his state. Abuses and even torture have been reported at all three facilities.

[Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities.]

This is how Trump is “Making America Great Again.” The term is “ethnic cleansing.”

If this is America’s future under Fuhrer Donald Trump, I will renounce my citizenship today. This is not the nation in which I was raised. I believed in the principles, morals, and compassion for others taught when I was raised in Los Angeles in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

I will admit that until 1962, after I turned 16, I knew little about America, and even less about how widespread prejudice was across America. I watched television news, and saw what was happening in the Deep South, but never imagined that just a few miles away from my home, young men and women who were Black, Hispanic, or Asian were treated so differently than I had been during my formative years.

However, in 1962, my mother allowed me to leave my Catholic High School and attend a public school, Venice High, and my education began in earnest.

Not only were the classes coed, I made new friends who were Black, Hispanic, Jewish, and Asian. I learned from each of them that America had many problems, problems the media refused to discuss or even expose.

My Black friends taught me about the “two Americas.” I had grown up in one; they in another. Young Hispanic men and women felt they were considered less than human by many whites. Jewish boys and girls were called names like “kikes,” and “Jesus killers.” My Asian-American friends were ostracized because of WWII. Some had relatives who were held in Japanese internment camps during the War. Each of them had legitimate complaints: real stories about real life in America.

From my first month in Venice High until 2017, I had faith that the men and women in Washington who were good people, and true patriots would eventually control our nation’s future. Forgive me: I was young a too idealistic.

The truth is that Trump and the Supreme Court of the United States offer irrefutable proof that our nation’s government is the most corrupt and incompetent in the world. If there is one thing I can tell you with absolute confidence is that the average American cannot trust anyone with great wealth and power. They are the enemy.
